Colavita Penne Rigate

Penne Rigate

This is a tube pasta which is cut diagonally on both ends like the end of quill pens. Penne rigate is a variant of penne pasta which has furrows or ridges on the penna’s surface. Rigate basically means “furrowed” or “ridged”, as its texture suggests. It is usually 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inch long. It is usually served best with pesto or marinara. With its practically hollowed shape it can hold sauces and its rigid body adds texture to your dish. Product of Italy.
